AB has a long term contract with guaranteed money to boot, MW doesn't. If he gets taken out by an injury, he's screwed. Having a signed contract gives one piece of mind in employment situations. This shit isn't new.

either that or complacency, a lot of players level of play drops off after they get a big contract. mike is pissing away a golden opportunity, but hey, it's his money

I don't think its all on him, sure he's dropped a few passes this season. Also, we have a different offense this year, one that he will not get the ball as much as he did in the past. And we've had our starting QB out to boot. I won't make excuses for the guy but I will try to give him the benefit of doubt because of his total contribution to the team. We've had some shitty luck with injuries at key positions this year too.

If we let him go, I don't think potential suitors will hold this season against him because they know what he can do if he is targeted in an offense. We'll see what gives next summer. This is one helluva business, isn't it?

490 through 8 games had him on pace to go for about 1,000 yards. Touchdowns are a crapshoot. So he's a 1,000 yard receiver who sees time at special teams, too. If you think we overpaid for that, so be it. But the passing game has nearly disappeared without Brown's playmaking. So no, he's not overrated.

You seem to keep basing your opinion on stats as opposed to sight. There is another reciever in this league who would be overrated by your standards. His stats through the first eight games this season. 767 yards receiving and 1 TD. Are you saying that receiving isn't number one quality? That receiver is Calvin Johnson.

I think the reason he is sucking as bad as he does is because he didnt get the extra millions of dollars he wanted so he's not even trying and being a little sissy girl about it. He isnt cut out to be a steeler, I think he'd look great in some purple and a neck brace.
